For my story I am showing the first basketball that I have ever owned and it is still usable.This ball has helped me understand the sport and helped me contribute basketball into my life.This is important to me because basketball being the first and pretty much only sportthat I have ever played makes this very special to me. To this day I play basketballagainst my friends and meet new people while doing so. That is how influential andcompelling the sport can be. I got this ball when I was in 2nd grade and it was the ball that me and my used for many years of my life. Playing basketball with friends helped me understand the game more and improved my knowledge of the sport. Understanding basketball led me to watch the professional sport and my liking of the sport. Playing basketball helped me with education as a whole as it taught me to understand things more when I enjoy what I’m doing. My first ever basketball relates to knowledge coming from personal experience because it shows how basketball changed my life to help me understand and enjoy watching the sport so that it is apart of my day everyday. Another way basketball has created a lot of knowledge for me as me and my friends argue over the NBA deciding who is the better player or what team is better. Watching the sport has created more knowledge for me about personal basketball intelligence as that is a huge part of being good at the sport. That is how my first basketball ever relates to knowledge of personal experiences.
